To accompany the announcement, the pair have also released a brand-new trailer introducing the character, his playstyle, and more.
More specifically, the trailer features Yoshimitsu doing what Yoshimitsu does, tearing opponents apart โ in this case the likes of Kilik and more โ in spinning and ninja-like action, all while staring his enemies down with menacing green, glowing eyes.
For those that don’t know: Yoshimitsu is a character from fellow fighting game (and fellow Bandai Namco series) Tekken, who was introduced in the original game in 1994, and has appeared in every subsequent sequel since, except for Tekken Revolution.
Yoshimitisu is not new to SoulCalibur. He notably made his crossover debut with the second game, and like in Tekken, has returned for all of the series’ main installments since.
Soulcalibur VI is slated to release for PS4, Xbox One, and PC sometime later this year. While officially the game doesn’t have a release date, a recent leak suggests it will come this September.
Release date or not, the game is already available to pre-order. And if you do decide to pre-order, you can save up to $15.
